5 Excellent Websites for Checking Google Keyword Rankings

One of the essential elements of SEO is picking the right keyword, making them rank & track the keyword position in search.

It is absolutely necessary for a blogger or SEO professional to check their Google keyword ranking for target keywords. One of the most common mistakes bloggers and website administrators make is that they write and publish articles without targeting any keywords at all.

Once you are finished writing an SEO-optimized post using your target keywords, your next task is to keep track of its search engine rankings and to continue building backlinks with the proper anchor text.

**Again, proper keyword selection is one of the main factors involved in achieving a better ranking in Google’s search engine.**

Every blogger must aim to use the keywords which users search the most, especially those keywords which will help your website show up on one of the first few pages of search results.

If you accomplish proper on-page SEO, chances are good that you will appear in the first 50 search results.

To improve your SEO, you must manage keywords properly so that you can find out which keywords are strong for your particular domain and which are not. This information allows you to work on using the strongest keywords, thus increasing your likelihood of getting a better ranking in Google and other search engines.

In order to accomplish this goal, you need a tool which can tell you where a specific keyword ranks in Google’s search results without manually going through 100’s of search results and pages.

To help you to do this, we have compiled a list of some excellent free online tools to use to check your target keyword position in Google.

5 Useful Google Position Checker Tools:

1. SEMrush

SEMrush is my favorite tool on this list as it is a complete solution for keyword checking.

It supports Google (you can select Google Search based on your target geographical region) and Bing. If you ever wonder, “What keywords do I rank for?”, SEMrush has got your covered.

These are all really great tools! I use SERPs rank checker for quick one-off checking and AHREFS for regular long term projects. I like AHREFS because it gives me the keyword tracking and link building progress snapshot all in one place.

SEMrush and Ahrefs are definitely 2 of my favorite tools for blogging. Every blogger who takes his/her blog seriously should have both of them, for sure.

Although they are very similar tools in certain aspects, each one of them performs better than the other one in certain functionalities. For instance, I love SEMrush for keyword research and site audits, also to keep track of my rankings and competitors. In the other hand, I find Ahrefs to work much better when it comes to finding competitors backlinks, link building opportunities to rank better, which is also very important.

I’m not familiar with the other tools you’ve mentioned here, but I’ll definitely take a look at them since I like to take advantage of every little recommendation I see at SML.
